The Bundle Bundle Indie Bundle

So, instead of creating yet another thread for each and every new bundle, let's just make one unified thread about bundles. Humble Indie Bundle. Indie Royale Bundle. Indie Gala Bundle. Bundle of Bundles with Bundling Bundles Bundle With The Obligatory Word Indie Indie Bundle. Doesn't matter!

But anyway, as of now, these are the currently running bundles I know of:

The Humble Indie Bundle is a bundle where you pay what you want. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Indie Royale Bundle is a bundle where you pay a minimum price, but with a catch. With each subsequent purchase, the price will increase. You can however lower this price for other people if you pay enough money.

The NEW YEAR'S BUNDLENuclear DawnMax & The Magic MarkerFractalSuper CrossfirePay more than the minimum or pre-order and get George & Jonathan's raved-about electronic chiptune funk album 'Beautiful Lifestyle'

Just like most of the pay-what-you-want bundle, you can pay what you want, as long as it's at least 1.50 in your own currency. Also note that this uses its own distribution service, meaning that there are no Desura or Steam keys.

Apparently this bundle is specifically made for Christmas, at least for Christmas 2011, but if it changes, I'll update it. It's exactly like the other bundles, only you pay once, and gift the game to how many friends you gift it to.

Current bundle: none

Former bundles:The Indie Game Christmas BundleCaptain BackwaterAbsolute BluePsychoballsTemple Of TangramBreak the average and get the UNRELEASED easy to use Level Editor for Captain BackwaterPay at least $6.99 and you'll get an additional mp3 soundtrack for free

If there are any other bundles or any updates on any bundles, feel free to post them. Also a nice place to discuss older bundles and how much your bundle is better than others.

Yes, but if I recall, it has been offered in 3 or 4 bundles. And having played it, I can confirm that I don't care about it and would rather it was not taking up space in my Steam Library.

Now you'll say "But you don't have to add them to Steam." No, I don't. On the one hand, If I don't add any games to Steam, I'll forget what I have. On the other hand, if I add them all beforehand I'll have games I don't care about filling up space there.

What I should really do is try a game before I add it.

EDIT: I could say similar about The Binding of Isaac. I know various people on here like it, but 2D Zelda it is not. I think IGN defined it's aesthetic as "cutesy grossness," and one might call that original, but having played the game myself, I can say that I don't particularly care for it. Now, when I say "I could say similar," what I mean is that (now that I recall), I bought the Voxatron bundle with particular interest in getting The Binding of Isaac as people on here claim to like it and I wanted to have a first-hand opinion. Unlike Crayon Physics (which I feel is a waste of time for anyone over the age of 7), I am glad I played Isaac so that I can talk about it, but again I'd rather it wasn't taking up room in my Steam Library.

...or perhaps I should just have a category called Misc., Other or Trash or something similar, and put all the Steam games I don't play in it. Maybe that would work.

EDIT AGAIN: Having my Humble keys resent to my email while writing this post, I can elaborate on having said "I haven't been keeping up with too many of the bundles" by including that the indie bundles I have bought are Humble #3 (which comes with #2), Humble Voxatron (for Isaac), Humble Frozen Synapse (as a gift, as yet unredeemed; I already have a Steam copy of FS), and the Xmas Bundle (which I got specifically for Blackwell).

Stop insulting my games of the year. Seriously. The Binding Of Isaac is my game of the year without any doubt.Crayon Physics was a great game. The deluxe version is a lot easier but still enjoyable if you set yourself some goals.

He means that the games weren't created from scratch, they were made using Adventure Game Studio, a tool specifically designed to make adventure games.

I don't think it's cheating either, but whatever.

I'd agree, since AGS is still pretty hard to use!(And there's still a lot of work involved in the other areas of game design. In this case especially, since the engine is probably he least labour intensive element of making an adventure game!)
